  • Yield Makes one 10-inch frittata
    Serves 10 to 12

Ingredients

    • 6 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup whole milk
    • 1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
    • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • 3 cups cooked and drained penne rigate pasta (from 7 ounces dry)
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • Garnish: fresh basil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together eggs, milk, ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Stir in cooked pasta and chopped basil.
  2. Heat a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat. Add oil; swirl to coat bottom and sides of skillet. Pour in egg mixture, and cook until edges are just beginning to set, about 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven, and bake until eggs are completely set, 10 to 12 minutes. Invert onto a plate, and re-invert onto a serving dish. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges. Garnish with basil.
